Chapter 239 I Was Counter-Taken by the Male Lead (27)
Qin Nuan was still unable to calm down because of that chance encounter.
She picked up the documents on the table again and looked at the small photo in the upper left corner. The girl in the photo had a gentle smile and looked a little immature. It was a photo of Jiang Rou from her high school days.
She put down the documents, then picked up the photograph she had touched countless times. Her eyes instantly filled with tears, and she spoke softly:
"Dad, Mom, I think I've found Jiaojiao. Although it's not confirmed yet, she looks a lot like Mom. I recognized her at a glance. Once it's confirmed, I'll take her to meet you both. I just don't know if she still wants to acknowledge me as her older sister, or if she'll blame me."
Qin Nuan's tears flowed like a broken string of pearls. Ever since her younger sister went missing, she had been constantly blaming herself for her carelessness.
She wondered if she had been more careful and her sister wouldn't have gotten lost. If her sister hadn't gotten lost, her mother wouldn't have died of grief. Would she still have family?
Slowly, the tears of sorrow in her eyes solidified into a deep-seated hatred. The most hateful people were the Meng family, who had caused her family to be destroyed and her loved ones to die, and that extremely hypocritical couple.
The more hatred Qin Nuan felt, the clearer her mind became. She would not let her enemies get away with it. She would make them pay for everything the Meng family had done, bit by bit.
Hearing 021's words, Jiang Rou looked slightly surprised. She really didn't expect such a surprise to await her; she was actually Qin Nuan's lost sister.
Jiang Rou slowly curled her lips and praised 021, "021 is becoming more and more reliable. Go see if there's anything you like. I'll pay for it."
Hearing Jiang Rou's words, the round little dumpling in her mind jumped up and down excitedly, cheering one after another. Before Jiang Rou's patience ran out, it very willingly shut its mouth.
Before leaving, he fawned over Jiang Rou and asked, "Rou Rou, Qin Nuan is investigating you. Should we go easy on her?"
Seeing Jiang Rou nod slightly, 021 immediately scurried away, making Jiang Rou laugh.
Changing majors is a very troublesome thing. Xie Nan was busy for almost half a month. During this period, he and Jiang Rou communicated almost entirely online. But even such a small change was taken advantage of by someone with ulterior motives.
A piece of gossip suddenly spread in small circles on campus: it seems that Jiang Rou, the talented girl from the School of Literature, and Xie Nan, who had just transferred to the Department of Finance, broke up. This news caused a huge stir on the forum.
Many people were discussing it, and someone claiming to be an insider made a statement saying that Xie Nan was getting close to a girl from a certain department and major, and that he changed his major for her sake. In his words, Xie Nan was portrayed as a fickle and fickle scumbag.
He described the story in great detail, as if he had witnessed it himself, but the crowd felt there was no smoke without fire, and many people believed this absurd claim.
Inside the classroom, Tian Weiwei and the others were furious as they read the post. Did these people have nothing better to do than stir up trouble? Their Rou Rou and Xie Nan were doing just fine, why did they need to worry about them?
Jiang Rou, the person directly involved, acted as if nothing had happened, even comforting her furious roommate. Her tone was gentle, and she seemed both amused and exasperated.
"Alright, Weiwei, don't be angry. They're just making wild guesses. Don't you know that Xie Nan and I are doing well?"
Looking at the posts on the screen, Jiang Rou was certain that someone was stirring up trouble. She and Xie Nan usually stayed off-campus and didn't know anyone except their roommates. How could so many "insiders" suddenly appear?
Before Jiang Rou could figure out what this person was after, a shadow suddenly fell over her.
Looking up, she saw a handsome young man with a gentle smile standing in front of her. Seeing Jiang Rou looking at her, the young man seemed a little nervous, then breathed a sigh of relief and extended his hand to her, saying:
"Hello, Jiang, my name is Chen Qi. May I get to know you?"
Jiang Rou was slightly surprised. "A fellow actress, huh? She acted quite well," she thought to herself with a faint sense of satisfaction.
Before Jiang Rou could speak, a calm voice rang out: "I'm sorry, she's not available."
The tall figure strode over to Jiang Rou's side. Upon seeing him, Jiang Rou's expression instantly brightened, and her voice carried a hint of sweetness:
"Anan".
Xie Nan put his arm around her shoulder, nodded to Jiang Rou's roommate behind him, and led Jiang Rou out of the crowd, leaving Chen Qi standing there alone.
It was school dismissal time, and many people gathered around to watch this scene. Seeing Jiang Rou and Xie Nan's intimate behavior, the baseless post instantly fell apart.
As the crowd dispersed, Chen Qi suddenly let out a cold laugh in the empty classroom. His slightly long bangs covered his eyes as he lowered his head.
His eyes were filled with a strange light, and his smile was gentle, yet somewhat eerie. He walked to the spot where Jiang Rou had just been sitting.
After sitting down, he leaned on the table, took a deep breath, and seemed to smell a faint fragrance, as if he had obtained some kind of magic potion. His expression was one of complete satisfaction.
Xie Nan took Jiang Rou out for a meal. His expression and tone were perfectly normal throughout the trip, but Jiang Rou could sense the emotions he was trying to suppress.
They strolled around the streets at a leisurely pace before slowly returning to their small rented room with Xie Nan.
As soon as she entered the door, Jiang Rou suddenly felt dizzy and before she could regain her composure, she was bombarded with kisses. Xie Nan pressed her down on the sofa, with one hand supporting the back of her head to make her feel uncomfortable.
Xie Nan only let Jiang Rou go when she felt like she was about to die from lack of oxygen. The two of them had their foreheads touching and were both breathing heavily.
The lights in the room hadn't been turned on yet, and an atmosphere of ambiguity permeated the darkness. Xie Nan lowered his head, wanting to kiss her again, but Jiang Rou slightly dodged away.
Seeing this, he kissed Jiang Rou's cheek. Before she could react, a series of kisses followed her cheek down until Xie Nan took her earlobe into his mouth. Jiang Rou was so stimulated that she couldn't help but moan softly.
Lying beneath Xie Nan, separated only by a thin layer of clothing, Jiang Rou could clearly feel Xie Nan's body temperature rising. She reached out and wrapped her arms around Xie Nan's neck, speaking in a soft, coquettish voice:
"Don't bully me."
Xie Nan chuckled softly, a tingling sensation rising within him. Unlike his usual refined and gentlemanly image, his disheveled hair now revealed his handsome features, adding a touch of wickedness that made him even more alluring.
"It's my fault. I was just being jealous and couldn't help myself when I saw someone getting close to my darling..."
Hearing what he hadn't finished saying, Jiang Rou immediately asked, "What can't you help yourself to?"
Xie Nan chuckled softly, leaned down, and whispered a word into Jiang Rou's ear.
Jiang Rou's cheeks instantly turned bright red. She punched Xie Nan in the chest with her fist, but to him it looked like she was just tickling him.
Then Xie Nan couldn't resist leaning down and kissing her again. He had something else he didn't say: he really wanted to kill the person who tried to get close to Jiang Rou. A fierce glint flashed in his eyes.
Jiang Rou learned the whole story about the rumor the next day.
"That's how it is with Rou Rou. That Chen Qi is up to no good, stirring up trouble on the forum, and he also has ulterior motives towards you."
At this point, 021's voice became quite fierce, completely different from her usual cute demeanor.
Jiang Rou nudged her master reassuringly, her tone somewhat languid: "Oh~, why is he being so mean to me?"
021 was furious; he had never seen such a shameless scumbag.
“He is mentally disturbed. He has had a perverted hobby of abusing cats since he was a child. After he studied biology in junior high school, he began to dismember animal carcasses. But now he is audacious and not satisfied with animals.”
Jiang Rou's eyes flashed with coldness, but her voice remained calm: "So you're keeping an eye on me."
